Spectacle - "La Servante Maîtresse", opéra entre baroque et breakdance

Who said opera was dead?

Composed by Giovanni Battista Pergolesi, La Servante Maîtresse is one of the iconic works of Italian opera buffa. Nearly three centuries later, its humor, insolence, and perspective on power dynamics have lost none of their relevance. Who serves whom? Who truly holds the power?

Pandolphe, a wealthy bachelor, can no longer stand being bossed around by his maid Zerbine, under the mocking gaze of his valet Scapin. He decides to get married to escape the insolence of his servant, but Zerbine is determined to marry her master: she will be the 'arch-mistress' of this house, whether Pandolphe likes it or not!

Compagnie UNISSONS! revisits this work in a contemporary interpretation, orchestrating an encounter between classical music, with the two leading roles performed by opera singers accompanied on the piano, and hip-hop dance, in a modern staging.

A family-friendly, funny, and rhythmic show, designed as much for opera regulars as for those who still think opera isn't for them.

Directed by: Marie Vasconi With: Yann BAPTIS, Leila CHAFII, Marion CHARLO-SMITH, Franz LAVRUT, Jérémy MARIE-JOSEPH, Alice MARZUOLA, John REPLOG, Marc-Antoine THOOR
